Specific Request - Creation of a Custom Spell


Pinky Promise
The spell’s effects as as follows:

• A solmancy based spell that binds two willing people with an enchantment. The binding will take the form of a brightly colored tattoo around both target’s chosen fingers. This lasts until either party dispels it.
  
• To cast the spell both targets must chant “I bind my faith unto thee, grant me a safe passage home and the safety of our shore” while the caster casts the spell. The caster themselves can also be the target of the spell.
  
• Once the spell is cast, both targets of the spell can chant “Home is where the heart is” To create a tether between them and the target that only they can see. Potentially leading them back together. The spell will find any way it can to reach the other target, unless there is really no way to reach its destination (i.e. if they’re trapped inside an inescapable cave). 
  
• Each target involved with the spell can at any point dispel it by chanting “I unbind our faiths as our paths diverge from our previous shores”. The spell is also dispelled if one of the targets dies.
  
• A target can have at most 2 people tethered to them. If either targets lack fingers then it can be cast on their wrist or whatever limb is available with the tattoo showing in the desired location..
  

Cinder tiles created by entities who've died (see: firespitters) are capable of damaging their allies.

Time for a batshit suggestion!

Are you tired of evoker granting you only 2 spells for your desired element..? Are you tired of Shapeshifter being better at focusing on most elements? (Well... I'm not sure that'll ever change)

I believe Evoker should have a toggleable passive that allows them to shift the element of (some or most) evoker spells to whatever elemental buff they currently have, and have them grant the bonus spell effects of said spells.

Spell scrolls are a cool idea, but I believe aren't enough..  Fire Vyd doesn't even inflict lingering damage, and hardly has a reason at all to be used.

Evoker as it is, is almost entirely used to buff up boxer, or prop up hexer with HSDW, Lightning Evo is decent, Wind Evo is in a good place, but often outdone by ST, who just steal all the spells from Evo and get a nice bonus such as Typhur and Titan Gale, but all the other elements are kind of meh right now.

Aquamancer gets a full kit to focus on Water and has massive amounts of Utility,  Priest does too with Light or Dark, and same with Hexer.  When you select these classes, you're often looking at a ton of great buttons, whilst evoker and it's elements often get outshone by a class that just steals it's spells.

And while my suggestion might be batshit, I think something like it would greatly help with raising interest in the class, and having it be an actual option of interest for mage characters, because as it stands.. It's rarely picked up by even those.

Cursed blood has two uses:

1: spamming the chat like crazy when you play ghost

2: destroying anyone using a vampiric weapon

3: destroying vampires (deprecated)

I feel like we could really do without it considering the fact that vampiric weapons aren't really that good and vampires don't even exist anymore. It nerfs vampiric weapons unnecessarily and when used as ghost it's honestly annoying how much it spams the battle log for basically no purpose.

Request Type - RP Ability

Request Details - I would like to request a specific type of curse, applied to my character at very young age and one that has progressed as time passed. This curse in particular, dubbed 'Curse of the Bloodless' (TBD) will be centered around the usage of blood, both in benefit and consequence for the user, with a few key points:

- The user will often randomly, bleed from their skin after enough physical work around the body, almost swapping out what would be naturally be sweat, making them more dependable upon medical attention and blood transfusions.

- The user may absorb blood, including monster's blood, upon contact with the skin, and such absorption not only helps with keeping healthy levels of blood liquid within the body, but will also give a temporary boost in physical capabilities in a fight. This will also come with physical alterations, their appearence shifting to match. (Change in coloring of hair and eyes, skin turning slightly red.)

- They will be prone to aggressiveness upon absorbing too much blood.


Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - I thought it would be interesting to roleplay a curse that actively tries to kill the user and forcing them to be in constant battles or medical care, promoting RP if the latter. 

Can you tell my copium class yet? This hand slot item for Kensei is extremely cool, and infact I wish there were MORE sheathes to add variety to Kensei's playstyle, but this one in particular lost it's niche back in GR1 when Hexer's Dark Invasion was changed from a 10% damage increase to a +10 Dark ATK increase, and it never has seen any usage since Crownbleeder+ became a thing.

While I do believe more sheathes should be a thing, changing this item seems like ultimately a cool thing to do, since one of the cooler concepts for a character to have is to be a cursed swordsman, and while 10 crit is useful, that's not the cursed item effect, instead its changing the attack type of Kensei skills to dark damage, which would only ever be useful if there were some form of dark resistance shred given at least everyone resists 1% dark, if not way more in the much more common case.

Instead I would propose that Sayakensa grant 15% Vampiric to Katanas and Kensei offensive skills when utilizing a cursed weapon, I think not only would that make sense for the reduced vitality of the weapon, but also would just be cool in general.

Truly, it is time to make Lupines great again. This will simply focus on traits since I tend like to have a wider variety of what to spend my trait points on!

Tundra Wolf
Required: Lupine Race, 10 SAN
Your fur is thicker and more insulated compared to your brethren. This allows you to better resist the cold with a +5% Ice Resistance and +10% Status Resistance versus Frostbite status effect. However, you're more suspectable to burns as a result! You gain a -5% Fire Resistance and -10% Status Resistance versus Burn status effect. Your War Cry also gains +25% of your Ice ATK to it damage.

Desert Wolf
Required: Lupine Race, 10 SAN
Your fur is lighter and better assists with cooling your body. This allows you to better resist to the heat with a +5% Fire Resistance and +10% Status Resistance versus Burn status effect. However, you're more suspectable to the cold as a result! You gain a -5% Ice Resistance and -10% Status Resistance versus Frostbite status effect. Your War Cry also gains +25% of your Fire ATK to its damage.


Sharp Feet Claws
Required: Lupine, Felidae, Corbie, Heron, or Phenex (and beast legs  )
Be it claws on your feet or talons, they are much better suited for unarmored combat. When using a Kick Skill, On Hit: Deals protection ignoring Slash damage equal to 25% of your Scaled STR, but also makes you lose HP equal to half of that as using your claws can hurt. 
(Or could just be worked into Sharp Claws itself.)

Big, Bad Wolf
Required: Pack Alpha, Strongest Muscles, 20 SAN
You're the biggest, baddest Lupine around and your Followers know that. For every Follower you have in your party, gain +4 Power to your weapon and +2 Armor (doubled when fighting monsters?). Cast Off Flexing also becomes Werewolf Mode (It works like Cast Off Flexing, but also releases a War Cry). You do not gain these benefits if there is 1 other Pack Alpha in the party.
(Pack Alpha really doesn't do anything for you, so this would be a fun thing to have it for. The bonuses may seem a bit too much, but getting even 1 Lupine with Pack Follower is a rarity aside from group builds.)

The Beast Within
Required: Lupine Race, Sharp Claws, 30 SAN
You have forgone being a civilized dog. As long as you have no weapon and armor equipped, gain the following benefits: +10 Armor, +10 Magic Armor, +15 Evade, +5% Blunt and Slash Resistance (Overrides Strongest Muscles). Enhances your unarmored weapon (aka Bare Fists) with Spiritual scaling (70% STR, 40% SAN). You also receive no damage from utilizing Sharp Claws. Furthermore, you gain the Pounce skill.

Pounce
Cost: 8 FP / 3M Target: Enemy Only
Area: Single Range: 5
Leap into the air and perform a Basic Attack upon an enemy. If the attack is a critical hit there is a chance to inflict Lingering Damage 15 LVL.
(I just like unique playstyles that can come from traits. And the idea of being more bestial and relying on one's claws and instincts seem cool to me.)

Maybe I'll add more later! Dev might implement one of these ideas...
